IIRC, most rivers in North America are generally safe. But in some developing countries or heavily farmed areas, it can be a concern.
TL;DR: LifeStraw removes bacteria and parasites, but not viruses or chemicals. Use it in wilderness areas where the only likely contamination is biological.

Sorry, im new to this. When you say "great for hiking"…you mean like for filtering river water or something?
Thanks for the clarification, i had no idea it didn't filter out those things you mentioned.

No filter will remove salt or chemical contamination (other than plastic particles). You would need to run through a distillation device to remove that stuff. That is what you would want to do in an Urban environment. They are too heavy for backpacking so not a lot of mass produced items that are light and cheap.
